How can we help?

How do we work with partner organisations?

We deliver everything authorities and other land managers need to plan, launch, implement and monitor campaigns in your community. We do ask for some co-ordination for media events to really get the message out, but there’s no cost.

We provide stickers for bins, lamp post banners, posters for council owned sites and for local businesses to use and other creative campaign material.We also provide press kits with lots of useful information to target local media outlets.In certain areas we will also provide paid-for advertising

We work with organisations to develop a range of local campaign initiatives to achieve maximum impact.

Advice and support

The Chewing Gum Action Group can provide you with plenty of advice and support on the running of your gum litter campaign.

Campaign co-ordination

Once you are successfully selected to take part you will be provided with a full kit of campaign materials for you to use. If you have any questions, then you can contact us for help, though the kit is all very self-explanatory. We'd also love to hear about your plans.

Fixed penalty notice

The effectiveness of the campaign relies on the successful enforcement of the fixed penalty notices of up to £80 in the UK and up to £75 in Wales. For more information on fixed penalty notices, please visit the Defra website.
